3 Easy Steps To Renew Your UK Passport
Obtaining a new UK passport is simpler than ever before, thanks to MyBritishPassport.
We have three easy steps that help you get through the process in no time.
Step One: Complete the online application form
- The first step is to complete our online application form. This typically takes an applicant no more than 20 minutes to do.
- Start by clicking here and selecting the country you are applying from.
- The application form is carefully designed to make the application process as simple as possible. You will be guided through each section step-by-step. You will need to provide personal details, such as your name, address, date of birth and details from your current/ latest UK passport.
- If you have any questions, our team of specialists are on hand to offer assistance and support. Once you have completed the online application form, check your answers in the summary section and click ‘submit’.
- After clicking ‘submit’, you will be redirected to a secure payment window to make payment via debit or credit card. Our payments are powered by Stripe – the world’s most secure payment gateway.
Step Two: Send in your digital passport photo and supporting documents
- After you have made the payment, you will be assigned a dedicated UK passport consultant. Your consultant will guide you through the process of sending in your digital passport photo and supporting documents.
- You will also be required to send in your most recent British passport. You need to send in your old/most recent British passport when applying for a renewal because the passport office needs to cancel it.
- You must provide additional documentation to prove your identity and nationality if you do not have your old/most recent British passport. Your consultant will advise you on which documents you need to provide.
- Your expert British passport consultant will carefully check your application form, photo and supporting documents before submitting them to HM Passport Office. This helps ensure your application is error-free and will avoid any delays in processing.
Step Three: Receive your new UK passport
- The final step is to sit back and relax whilst we take care of everything for you. We will keep you updated on the progress of your application every step of the way. Once your new passport is ready, it will be sent to you by secure courier. You should receive your new passport within 3-4 weeks from when you first applied.
You must keep in mind that this waiting time is just an estimate, and actual processing times may vary due to unexpected demand at the Passport Office. Therefore, it is essential not to make travel arrangements until you receive your new passport.
